Not working notice

brendon

If they did take you to court, it's unlikely you would have to pay much compensation. They can only really recover the costs of 3 days you've not served in your notice period. And a court is likely to offset the wage you would have been paid against it. Since you've already established they have a high turnaround, and the job can hardly be billed as skilled work, they will be quite limited to what costs they can recover. So, you're liable for peanuts and the company isn't going to take you to court over it. I wouldn't worry about it.

The court should not have to offset the unpaid wage for the OP - the company should not be claiming for that any way.

Realistically the difference between what the OP would have earned and what it would cost to pay someone to do over-time is close to nil and for someone to come in who wasn't trained would be pointless. They are extremely unlikely to claim for such a small amount.

I have definitely thought of this but I work 9-6 weekdays and they only facilitate overtime till 7 - and even this is only when there's additional work which on my department is very rare. I will mention it though.

Is there anyone who works weekend shifts, but would like to swap a few of them? You could work their weekend days, and they could work the few weekdays at the end of your contract.
